WAS HEAN INCENDIARY?

The cause of the fire in Barnes paint shop
Thursday night is the source of considerable
speculation 1t is stated that there has been
some trouble about the renting of the same.
and some very hard customers have made
themselves conspicuous in the trouble.
The gentleman who first saw the fire was
near a block north on Main street. 1t was
then a very small blaze. He on seeing the
fire also saw a man crossing Main street and
disappear a short distance north of the Occi-
dental. He yelled fire and yelled fire to the
man, who never looked around, but whose
only acknowledgment of the news was an in
crease in his speed. He did not know the
suspicious character, but his actions are pro-
nounced rather suspicious.
There seems to be no doubt but that the
sh op was set on fire by some one. There had
been no fire in tie building for some hours
before when the lamps were extinguished.
A gentleman who came down Second
street to the fire, met near Lawrence avenue
suspicious looking character who held hi:
head down and hid his face with his hat
| That was but moment after the alarm hat
been sent in, and many think the man he me-
| was the lad who was seen crossing Mair
street. At Lawrence avenue he did no
seem to care anything for the fire, although
several parties were yelling fire and he coult
not have been ignorant of the fact that a fir
had broke out in the city.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
A. d. Striker Attempts Self Destruction 1t the
Jail Thursday Night.

A. D. Striker, man who figured more or
less VIGOROUSLY in the city last summer,
dropped down here day before yesterday.
According to his former customs one OF his
first moves was to get beastly drunk and as u.s.
ual make fool of himself. Thursday night as
Sheriff Hays was going home he found
Striker lying along the pavement. Striker
spoke to him and asked to remain over night
at the jail, which the sheriff readily granted.
The occurrence after in some way leaked
out. Striker was observed while sitting
at the table eating to take from his
pocket knife and run his hand along its
blade. Shortly afterwards he retired to the
parlor of Mrs Hays and lay upon a sofa.
He had been there about ten minutes when
one Of the boys came running to the sheriff
telling him that Stryker had cut himself and
was bleeding to death. Upon going to the
room he found the man covered with blood
and very weak and exhausted from its loss.
He had cut the large artery OF his arm
at the writ, and had thrown the blood over
his face and neck. thus giving the impress
sion that he had cut his throat. After still
further loss of blood, the hand was bound up
and the flow stopped. Yesterday morning
he arose very weak and pale, and asked for
money to take him home to Larned Sheriff
Hays gladly gave it to him, and started him
homeward, thinking in that way the city
would be relieved of his presence.
